What a cool spot!! The outdoor patio was awesome. We then went downstairs to the Devious Lounge. It had a great vibe. Andy, our bartender, was great and made excellent recommendations for both food and drink. Will definitely go back!!! read more

Cool atmosphere, nice vibe with bar space and seating upstairs, downstairs and on the patio. We only stopped for a quick drink but would love to return to try the food, especially a burger. Looks like burger specials during the week. My only gripe was the Parisian old fashioned I ordered came with the big ice cube but was served in a small plastic cup so the cube was over the rim and made it a little challenging to sip. I am wondering if disposable cups are just used on game days perhaps? It was too chilly for the patio for us, but there are a lot of places to sit outside. read more

Arrived excited to try this place! The drinks we ordered were delicious and our server was very attentive. However it did take 30+ minutes for our group of 4 to get our food. I understand they were "busy" but other tables were being served even though they arrived after us. That was frustrating When the food did arrive it was cold and one of the breakfast wraps didn't even have egg in it?? The ambiance was cool. Food was pricey. Did not come with sides. read more

Nice patio and good lunch at Pilot. Service was great, attentive kind server. Small menu. The burrito was delicious, flavorful, and had a nice kick to it. Paired with a delicious sauce. Fries were cooked great and paired nice with a side of ranch. read more

We came to this spot after a cubs game to check out the devious lounge speakeasy. It wasn't too crowded so it was nice and intimate. Service was quick too. I tried a mezcal cocktail and tequila cocktail, and both were very sweet. We also shared a couple of plates. The soup dumplings were our favorite with lots of flavor. The chopped greens salad was a nice portion and fresh. The curry wings were nothing special. They were out of the steak frites (5pm on a Saturday) unfortunately. The bulgogi tots were very heavy and a big portion, but rightfully so since it was pricey. Overall, the food options are a nice change from a typical bar on Clark street but was still on the heavier side. Cool bar to check out though! read more

Our first time coming here and we will definitely be back! Our server, Cole, was super helpful and recommended a few awesome beers (the fruit punch sour + pickle beer were our personal favorites!) We happened to come on a Thursday, which was $10 smashburger day and wow were they tasty! Also, highly recommend the Italian wontons - never had anything quite like them before. The fries were also so good, if you like skinny, crispy ones! We sat outside and the music was awesome. We also checked out the lounge downstairs, will be back to hang out down there another time. Overall, would come back and recommend to anyone who loves craft beer, great food and vibes, and excellent service! read more

I was so excited to finally try out the third location of Pilot Project! The other two have different vibes and I didn't expect any different here. It feels more upscale, even though it's in Wrigleyville. The bartenders were great and we learned about daily specials that they're going to start having - $1 wing nights, burger specials, etc. My boyfriend and I split a bulgogi picadillo tostada wrap ($22). It was just enough for us as it's a large entrée. I was also quite happy with the beer selection. The ambience is nice and I like that they kept some of the rustic feeling components of the building so that you can tell it has some history. I heard there is a speakeasy style bar in the basement which I look forward to trying when it is open next time I visit. I bet their brunch out on the patio is quite nice, too! read more

A random Friday night pick , turned into a great night out! From the dimmed lighting in the basement , to the awesome staff and beautifully curated menu...this place is a MUST TRY! Went in with as a group of 5 , so we decided to order couple of things off the menu and share. My top picks would personally be the mole empanadas and bulgogi tots ! The empanadas are cooked to perfection along with a delicious mole (not spicy at all ) . The tots are crunchy perfection ! They have a perfect portion of meat , cheese, kimchi and of course a beautiful egg sunny side up to complete the dish! The drinks were also crafted to perfection ! Our host was happy to help / give great recommendations as well! read more

Service was great. Everyone was super friendly and accommodating. I walked in for a late lunch with all my luggage and they were more than happy to make me comfortable. The hibiscus lime mule was served in a can with a glass of ice. Tasted great and I had two. The sour dumplings were delicious. Served with 5 dumplings. Just enough spice to be flavorful but not too hot. I was very pleased. read more

Pilot Project is a sneaky patio in the heart of Wrigleyville. Sat right across from the main stretch of bars, this is a little oasis where you can just go and chill. They lots of great beer options and plenty of appetizers. I had the soft pretzel and loved every bite of it. read more

Had such a great time at Pilot Project that we not only checked out the downstairs lounge for dinner and drinks, but we also enjoyed the patio for some beer afterwards (they do not serve their beer in their downstairs lounge). Our server was so great and she truly made the experience. The food was AMAZING!! We had the ahi tuna nachos, bulgogi tots, and the soft pretzel (shared between 3). The nachos and tots had a generous portion of tuna/ bulgogi so there enough for every bite. I truly cannot choose a favorite between the two. The pretzel was good too but nothing that stood out. Although I wasn't a huge fan of their beer (I tried both of their sours and a lager), their cocktails were really good! Overall, I cannot wait to come back! read more

I am so excited to have Pilot so close to my apartment. I came here on a Saturday afternoon and got two flights and the steak frites. There wasn't a single beer that I didn't like. The bartender and servers were super friendly. I can't wait to come back and try even more beers, especially during the summer. Also I strongly recommend getting a flight when you go - they give you 10% off to-go beers. read more

Came before a game at Wrigley Field. Alex was busy due to pre game crowds but was amazing. Greeted us warmly and had an actual conversation with us. Food was delicious and perfect for a pre-game meal. Will definitely be back. The ambiance is more of an upscale bar vs a dive sports bar. read more

To say that I'm excited for a new location opening is an understatement: the drinks, the ambiance, the service- is top notch. And go downstairs to Devious lounge if you're looking for a more romantic ambiance. Pilot project got you covered. read more

This was a nice and chill brewery with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. I tried The Raven imperial stout, but it was a bit too sweet for me. They had plenty of beers to choose from, but as a stout drinker, I wish that they had more than one stout on the menu. read more

Super nice bar that's just far enough from the stadium so it wasn't crazy loud and busy. We sat outside the first visit and ordered from the outdoor bar. They have lots of options for local and small breweries, both on tap and cans, so it felt nice to support them. I got the sour and it was great. The second time we went back, we sat in the lounge in the basement. It wasn't busy at all and I'm not sure why because it was so cool down there and the seating was cozy. The bartender was great and made us one of the best manhattans we've had. read more

Amazing experience!! We stopped in right before the Noah Kahan concert and despite it being busy, our waiter Cole was awesome! He continued to check in and update up even when the kitchen was backed up, and made sure we'd never went too long without a drink! A phenomenal server and PHENOMENAL BURGER! Can't wait to come back :) read more

Awesome new spot in the lobby of the Hotel. At first glance the space seems tiny, but they have a huge patio and a lounge space in the basement as well. Service was on point and food delivered efficiently despite it being a game day. Beers were tasty and they have a great variety! read more

Great spot. Came to pass time with my pup on a hot Saturday afternoon. They quickly seated us on the patio (in the shade), and the chilled bottle water service hit the spot. Beers were good. Food was fine. The steak frites wasn't bad, but the lack of anything memorable about it and the questionable freshness of the steak will remind me not to order again on next visit. Service was friendly, prompt, and attentive. read more

Stopped in before a Cubs game and this place did not disappoint. The beer was so good -- super fresh and easy to drink. I loved that they had a mix of unique small-batch options and staples. Definitely not your typical bar scene beer list. We also got the ahi tuna nachos and OMG... SO GOOD. The chips were super crispy and held up perfectly under all the toppings. The fish was cold, fresh, and flavorful -- not mushy or bland like you sometimes get. Honestly one of the best bar food dishes I've had in a while. Great vibe, friendly staff, and solid food + drinks right by Wrigley. Will 100% be back! read more

You must check out the NEW Pilot Brewing in Wrigleyville. Incredible staff -just like the Logan Square peeps, and gigantic selection of carefully chosen brews. Rocking outdoor space and velvety cocktail lounge. Highly recommend!! read more

It's now open and it's exceeding my expectations in every way! Creative cuisine choices, large and beautiful patio, friendly servers, dog-friendly outdoors, plenty of beers plus a couple of cocktail choices for non-beer fans. It was a long wait... but worth it!

This place has been a great addition to the neighborhood. Was excited to have a spot with local rotating craft beers in wrigley and was pleasantly surprised with how tasty the food is.

This is the WORST bar in Chicago. Told my friend he was blinking too much when he is 22. So absurd and had no reason to deny him. Never ever coming back to this place. read more
